Mathematica Creator Stephen Wolfram to Speak at Mathematica Paris Conference 2004

Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica and founder of Wolfram Research, will give a special presentation at this year's Mathematica Paris Conference, to be held October 6 in the French capital. Wolfram, appearing via videoconference, will discuss important issues related to his highly influential book A New Kind of Science and answer questions from the audience.

Two decades in the making, A New Kind of Science was an instant best-seller, praised by readers and critics of all levels, and is now showing signs of initiating a major paradigm shift in science. Wolfram completed this momentous book after founding Wolfram Research and developing Mathematica, the tool that made A New Kind of Science possible.

The one-day conference, hosted by Wolfram Research in cooperation with Ritme Informatique, will also feature talks by expert Mathematica users from France and around the world, including other Wolfram staff, who will showcase current and potential uses of Mathematica in a wide range of fields.

For those already using Mathematica or thinking about joining the community of several million enthusiastic users from around the world, this event offers a unique opportunity to learn about the latest and most important advances in technical computing.

The conference will be preceded by an optional two-day training course, which is being offered to conference attendees for a substantially reduced cost. Space for all events is limited, so early registration is recommended.
